i have recently walked out of my job because of a hostile co-worker,
now after meeting with the district manager, and human resourses and
regional manager they have offered my job back but told me i should
take some time off and go on a medical leave, i have already before
this applied for unemployment and due to my leaving was unable to
collect, now i am also told i do not qualify for a medical leave , i
am afraid to go to back to the job, and they say nothing will happen
to me if i do, i am now under doctors care, as for along time have
been under stress from these situations, and on two different meds, i
do not know what to do, but also can not stay at home financially ,
nothing has happened to the other co-worker, or the manager that knows
of this anger but denies she did, can someone please help, i fear
going back...

You need to fully understand the situation. If it is a reaction to the
medication your taking then maybe a discussion with your Doctor is in
order to try and adjust the dose may help. This still does not give
anyone at work the right to intimediate you, either a co-worker or
management. If you are indeed afraid to return to work because of a
hostile employee this is grounds for unemployment.

thank you for your answer, but the manager denies knowing anything
about his violence even though he has thrown a calculator across the
room, broken the phone off the wall, comes in cursing constantly at
her, stating he doesn't want to f**** talk to her yet, we had to stop
a meeting because he came in a bad mood because he didn't get his
money for his expenses, he is constantly throwing chairs around, and
although i am not the only witness to his actions, other employees are
afraid to speak up, due to retaliation by other employees and
managment, i feel as though i am alone,when we had a meeting with the
supervisors who stated they would look into the situation the manager
stated this is the first time she has heard about all this, i brought
her attention to what about the day this happened and i called her,
and he said he didn't want to talk to her, i can not afford to be off
of work but afraid to go back, and my doc does have my meds under
control, but these are incidents which i am afraid to work in such a
hostile work enviroment when my boss will do everything in her power
now to isolate me from my co-workers, because now i am a whistle
blower.... unemployment said i quit my job, therefore not eligible,
but i am looking into short term disability, which sat. got a letter
that i was refused

Well I dont know what country, state, county or province  you are in
but it would not be anywhere in Australia, thats for sure! We have
strong unions, labour laws,  health & safety legislation that covers
amongst other things such abuses or claimed abuses with guidleines in
place to address, including obligatory local arbitration and
conciliation progressing to external where issue not resolved to both
party's satsfaction. Nearly all workplaces have to have in place a
local or industry based harrassment policy where anyone claiming
harrassment is entitled toa fair hearing and time to state their case.
The other party also has to state their case  and show no wrongdoing
or  otherwise how they can change their approach and desist from such
harrassment or face further action. Irrelevant info perhaps but I was
happy to write it.

Sugar, this advice is free, so you get what you pay for.

1.) You do not have to tolerate this behavior.

2.) You do have to be careful about how you go about resolving this problem.

I can appreciate needing a job, or wanting to stay at a place of
employment.  It sounds as though you are in the right.  Again, I'll
ask you, is this kind of BS really worth it?  Life is too short to
make yourself miserable over... a job.  End of rant.

Assuming you've decided to stay:

What is the point of you using YOUR medical time, YOUR vacation,
because an EMPLOYEE of the company you are working for has injured
you?  Why should YOU pay?

As such, I think you should begin looking at your employer.

First, GET THINGS IN WRITING. This toxic individual is running
roughshot over the situation and will continue to do so until he is
stopped.  His behavior, if recorded often enough, has likely already
become a liability to the place of employment.  Without a written
promise, the next time this happens you'll be subject to the same
anguish.  Don't let it happen again. If something happens to you, you
need to protect yourself with proof! Something that holds up in court
or in mediation.  If you've got enough proof right now... send a
letter to a workers comp attorney.

Second, ONLY PICK BATTLES YOU KNOW YOU'LL WIN.  There is no point in
standing around the water cooler brooding to coworkers about stupid
behavior.  When his/her behavior gets in the way of you doing your job
properly, write a note to your supervisor, walk into his office. 
Don't get emotional, this is business, and your toxic friend is
getting in the way.  He's costing you time and the company money.

Third, THIS IS BUSINESS. It's not 911 emergency. You can always walk
out and get a cup of coffee.  Smile.  Relax.  Sun is comming up
tommorow, promise.  If you're working for someone else, the moron is
their problem, not yours.  You can't solve their problems, just like I
can't solve yours.

Hope this helps.
